Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jaconé over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down what’s happening at Jaconé over the next couple of weeks.
The first week is a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a solid stretch of cleaner conditions setting up mid-week, and a real standout day way out there in the second week that the experienced crew should be keeping an eye on.
We kick off Sunday the 12th with a clean, 3ft southeast groundswell rolling in – 12-second period, with a slight cross-offshore breeze. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Combined wave energy is moderate at (298). Not a bad start for a morning session, but it's a short-lived window because the afternoon gets cooked by a strong onshore wind blowing in from the southwest.
Monday the 13th is a write-off – heavy onshore winds and rain, with messy 8ft swell from the south-southwest. Tuesday the 14th is still a struggle with those onshore winds, and even though the afternoon has a 7ft SSE swell with an 11-second period, the wind is straight onshore. It’s just not doing it any favours.
Now, Wednesday the 15th is where things start to turn. The morning session is clean and glassy with a 6ft SSE groundswell, a solid 11-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the northeast. The energy is moderate at (729), and it's looking really good for a long, cruisy session.
Thursday the 16th keeps the same vibe: clean 5ft SE swell in the morning with offshore NE winds, and a 5ft version in the afternoon. All very surfable and clean. Friday the 17th is also a cracker – light offshore NNE wind in the morning with a 4ft SE swell at 12 seconds, energy at (542). That's a good, fun day.
We see a bit of a shift over the weekend. Saturday the 18th has a clean 5ft swell from the east-northeast, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and less powerful. Sunday the 19th is another clean one with a similar ENE swell, 6ft, 8-second period. Monday the 20th is the same story – clean 5ft ENE swell – nothing world-class, but definitely surfable.
Tuesday the 21st starts very small, with a glassy 2ft and weak energy, and runs through into Wednesday the 22nd with a weird 4ft from the southwest with a short 5-second period. It's just not doing much.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday the 23rd. This is the standout. The morning shows a 6ft SSW swell with a very long 15-second period and clean offshore NE winds. The combined energy jumps to a very strong (1471). This is big, powerful, and clean – but that size and period means it's only for experienced surfers. This is prime groundswell, and for a beachbreak, that long period can make it a bit tricky, but the quality should be worth it for the crew that knows how to handle it. The afternoon is even bigger at 7ft and still clean – very strong energy at (1615). Thursday the 23rd is the big call for this outlook.
After that, Friday the 24th gets messy again with strong cross-onshore winds, and the weekend and following Monday (25th–27th) fizzle out into small, weak surf that’s not really worth paddling out for. The 2ft or 1ft days just don't have the grunt.
So overall, the best windows are Wednesday morning the 15th through Friday the 17th for some clean, fun waves. But the real one to mark on the calendar is Thursday the 23rd of July – a proper, powerful groundswell for the experienced crew only.
Rusty.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
